Translation: Goodmorning! -10° in Älmhult today, so you definitely woke up when you stepped off the train, I tell you. Today is Fredrik's 30th birthday, congrats! Hope you'll have an awesome day. Tomorrow I'm jumping on the train to Gothenburg and my lovely boyfriend who's there visiting Salming. It will be so damn excellent to see him. Have a nice Tuesday!

Translation: Happy 1st of Advent dear friends! Hope you've had a lovely, cosy day with some hot glühwein and freshly baked saffron buns. My day has been very unchristmassy with laundry and shoeshopping (finally found some winter shoes), and hot sandwhiches with tomato and cheese. Sometimes the simplest is the best. Anna and Fred are on their way over now though, for sushi and movie, and then finally, some glühwein. Have a nice evening!

Translation: I always get this special feeling when I see pictures from Berlin. Especially beautiful photographs like these. Stomach ache-want to be there-sort of feelings. It's snowing here today. We were just given some glögg och ginger cookies as work, so it's a pretty nice atmosphere here as well. I truly love Fridays. Have a good one!

Translation: Post no. 1000. Should I celebrate? However, it's winter, for real. Put on your knits and teal socks. Whole south of Sweden is covered in white beautiful snow and it gives me this cosy Christmas feeling, (another white xmas this year?)Tonight I think I will pour up some glögg and on Sunday (1st of advent) do some baking. Although no promises since there's a 30th birthday party on Saturday... Ciao!

Translation: Searching for a whole lot of inspiration for upcoming projects. It's not easy. I also have to riddle things out since my desktop is being covered with all sorts of icons. Although I'm spending this morning in e-mail land. I have so many to deal with, and I've been postponing them for way too long now. So have a lovely day, and hope you're staying warm from the cold out there.

Translation: Was watching the last episodes of the Sex and the city serie last night (the best ending of a show ever?) Yeah I know, I do love romantic stories, but this is so beautiful even a tree branch would fall into tears.However, there's some amazing scenery in this episode (and the one before). Everything what Paris offers mixed with Carries feminine style. Inspiring.

Translation: Oh what a wonderful week we've had! Back in Malmö now after a long long trip yesterday. Gothenburg welcomed us with worst possible weather. Hmpf. Although now it feels pretty good to be home actually, even if it's totally freezing outside. Went for a walk in the city today which was really nice, the atmosphere felt energetic somehow. Also, good planning coming home on a Friday instead of a Sunday... Promise to post some more photos tomorrow, so you're more than welcome to come back then!

Translation: We came last Friday, sunny, 25-26 degrees, and it's been the same until today. I, of course, look like a pink little pig, so we decided to drive to Las Palmas today for a beach-break, and we got rain(!). But it was nice to go for a stroll in the city, and everyone found some shopping. Especially in Zara, which is much cheaper here than back home. (Yes, my eyes were parkling a tiny bit more when realizing this...)However, we're going back to fleshburning tomorrow, at another beach called Maspalomas. Hope you're all doing well. We are for sure, even if I deeply wish there was one more person with us on this trip.Ciao!

Translation: Soon I'm leaving this cold cold Älmhult for a week on the beach (or by the pool, you do the pick). And considering I've been babbling about this trip in the last posts, you can understand my excitement. When I dug into my closet yesterday to get hold of my flipflops, it felt like a hundred years ago since they last lived on my feet. I gave them a very warm welcome and took some happysteps towards my suitcase.Bob asked be yesterday if I wanted to stay in cockpit during take off and landing, so I will try and get a couple of pictures of that (if I dare).But now my friends, I will finish up a few things here to not expect a too big of IKEA mountain when I eventually get back here.Bisous!

Translation: Lots of things happening at the moment. That caused me minor migraine attack today which wasn't pleasant at all.But! I have now packed my bag, put up some shelves, cleaned and washed some clothes for the trip. Finally time for bed. And finally off to holiday in a very near future. Night night!

Translation: I have caught on a tiny obsession for hats. Although my favorite one is lying at Fred's and Anna's place, so I will have to live without that for while. On the other hand, I will swap it for my panamahat when I go off to my holiday this Friday, and while I'm there I will search through both city and tiny markets for piquant headwears. Like the ones above. I kind of want them all.

Translation: You know what, the time is just after four and it's pretty much dark outside. Hmpf. And today Marek went back to Berlin. Sob sob. But if we put it like this, I got a new challenging and exciting job, and on Friday the whole Skoog-family is going on a holiday. Hurray!So today we've been listening to IKEA's interior designers who have visited people around the world to find out how different their homes are and what's important to them. Superinteresting even if I'm terribly tired. So, let's turn off the light, pull a blanket over your shoulders and heat up a cup of tea.PS. We went and saw The Social Network yesterday. Interesting and totally worth seeing..

Translation: We've presented our summerbrochure for the last time, and it went really well.Plus, in a week I'm on my way to a sunnyland, can you imagine how awesome it will be?Pretty damn awesome. Marek is here now. We're living the together life for a week. And I totally love it! (And him).Have a great Friday folks.

Translation: Needed to give my blog some brighter colours during this dark time of year. Which we should actually give ourselves as well. Some patterns, some delightful tones on our bodies, instead of the black coats the majority of Swedish citizens walk around in (incl myself). And then, the impossible hunt for the warmest and most good looking coat. How are you supposed to keep warm when they're saying it's going to be the coldest winter since the Vikings? Mein gott.

Translation: Damn, I have caught on a massive cold. Flem and snot all over the place. I'm at work though. That's the deal when you have an important presentation close by. But my intentions are to work from home tomorrow, to spare my dear collegues from my miserable appearance. Cough cough.

Translation: Today I don't want to be anywhere else but in Berlin. Unfortunately I'm not there. Have to book a ticket soon to settle my Berlin cravings. Although Marek is flying from there tomorrow. To here. Oh this happy feeling I have to get to see him again, indescribable.
